Default F150 king pin?
Our trucks don't have kingpins do they? I looked online and couldn't really find anything. A friend of mine with the same truck says his Is broken and I have never heard of em on these trucks lol.

They did back when they had twin "I" beans. Not for years though.

4x4 is twin traction beam. Twin I beam is only used for 2wd. And I don't believe we have king pins. I think they were faded out before the 8th gen

The last one to have kingpins was the 87-91 F-350 with the solid Dana 60 front axle. Our 8th gen and 9th gen 2wd and 4wd have ball joints.

If its got a solid axle from an older truck swapped on it might have them but otherwise no.
